Wells-next-the-Sea

Wells-next-the-Sea, a small picturesque town, is situated at the heart of the
North Norfolk coastline, which forms part of the largest coastal
nature reserve in England and Wales, designated an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is central also to that part which
is recognised as the Heritage Coast. The beaches of Wells,
together with those of neighbouring Holkham, must be among the
largest and most beautiful sandy beaches in the UK. Equally
distinctive and attractive along this stretch of coastline are the
sand dunes, pinewoods, creeks and salt marshes, appealing to
families, sun worshippers, walkers and bird watchers alike.

Bexwell Cottage full details

Bexwell Cottage is a charming, newly-built, cottage-style
detached house. The use of traditional brick and flint for the walls
and red tiles for its roof ensures that the house sits well with the
attractive houses typical of North Norfolk. The interior has been
finished to a high standard, with careful attention paid to a layout
and detail that are designed to enhance convenience, comfort and
enjoyment.

The house is situated very close to both the centre of Wells and
the quay. Shops, post office, library, bank and other facilities are
a minute away. Set in sizeable grounds, the house has parking space
for three cars.

On the ground floor, the accommodation consists of entrance hall,
sitting room, garden or sun room, combined kitchen and dining room,
conservatory, bedroom and shower room/wc. On the first floor, there
are two bedrooms, each with en suite facilities.

The house offers accommodation, ideally, for up to five persons,
though there is scope for a sixth. The first floor bedrooms, each of
which has its own room with shower and wc (and one a bath also), have,
respectively, a large double bed and twin beds, all with pocket sprung
mattresses.

The third bedroom, on the ground floor, has a single bed, as well
as a truckle bed, stored beneath the single bed, which could be used
in appropriate circumstances. The room with shower and wc on the
ground floor is adjacent to the third bedroom.

The sitting room, conservatory and garden room have a southerly
aspect and a view over a lawned garden surrounded by trees and shrubs,
inviting relaxation both indoors and out. The conservatory, facing
east as well as south, is ideal for comfortable and leisurely
breakfasts, as an alternative to the main dining area.

The comprehensive range of equipment and facilities, in the kitchen
and elsewhere, includes two electric ovens, with grill, gas hobs,
microwave oven, fridge, freezer, washing machine and dish washer.
In the sitting room, there are TV and DVD player and, elsewhere in the
house, audio equipment and additional TVs.

A gas boiler supplies hot water and provides heating through
radiators, on the first floor, and under floor on the ground floor.
A wood burning stove, in the sitting room, offers luxury or
alternative heating.

For overall comfort and enjoyment, smoking is not permitted in
Bexwell Cottage and, regrettably, pets cannot be accommodated.

Places of interest

Beaches, dunes and marshes

There is no shortage of things to do and see in an area of such
beauty - walking, cycling, lazing or playing on the beautiful
beaches (where some of the beach huts may be hired by the day),
swimming, sailing, bird watching and generally appreciating nature
in fields, pine woods and marshes, and on sea and sand.

Not only the quay and beaches in Wells itself but also the
beaches, dunes, woods, marshes, creeks and bird reserves in Holkham,
Stiffkey, Morston, Blakeney, Brancaster, Titchwell and
Cley-next-the-Sea, all between two and ten miles away, present
fascinating activities, sights and sounds.

Get active

For something different, water-skiing and windsurfing are
permitted at Wells' beach, along with sailing (with a sailing club
that welcomes visitors) and canoeing. In Wells, also, or in the
surrounding area, there are opportunities for ballooning, boat trips
to view some of the many seals in the area, bowls, fishing, golf,
horse riding, parachuting, squash, tennis and ten pin bowling.

Railways

Between Wells and Walsingham, there is a regular service, from 1
April to end of October, using the longest 10 ¼ inch narrow guage
steam railway in the world, while, within Wells, the Harbour Railway
runs from the harbour towards the beach, a distance of just under a
mile. Further afield, the North Norfolk Railway (Poppy Line)
connects Sheringham and Holt, via Weybourne, giving access to
sea-side and countryside walks and the Bure Valley Railway runs
between Aylsham and Wroxham.

Churches, Houses and Gardens

Beautiful and interesting churches are thick on the ground in
North Norfolk and nearby, as well as several ruined abbeys and
priories, including those at Walsingham - a place of pilgrimage
since 1061, Binham, North Creake and Castle Acre.

There are many impressive houses and stately homes in the area,
including Holkham and Houghton Halls, Sandringham House , and the
National Trust properties Blickling, Felbrigg and Oxborough Halls.
Nearby, villages and towns, such as Walsingham, the Burnhams, Holt
and Cromer have an abundance of eye-catching buildings.

In addition to those at the grand houses already named, there are
many other gardens in the area that are worthy of visit - Mannington
Hall, Wolterton Park, Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, East Ruston
Vicarage, Fairhaven Woodland and Water Gardens, Heacham Lavender and
Bressingham, to name but a few.

Museums and working Mills

A wealth of exciting heritage is to be found in North Norfolk at
museums in Holkham, Walsingham, Cromer, Fakenham, Holt and
Mundesley, and in the Muckleburgh Collection of military vehicles,
the Norfolk Shire Horse Centre and the Thursford Collection of steam
agricultural and fairground machinery and mechanical organs.

Working wind mills and bakeries can be seen at Bircham and Denver,
and demonstrations of a working water mill are available at
Letheringsett.

Places to eat

Wells itself offers a wide range of cafes, restaurants, pubs and
hotels, all serving good food during the day or evening. A further
range can be found in villages nearby, both along and away from the
coast, notably in Stiffkey, Morston, Cley-next-the-Sea and Blakeney,
Burnham Overy Staithe, Brancaster, Thornham, Burnham Market, Burnham
Thorpe, Warham and Walsingham.
